The Mandarin review

81. Mandarin

The Mandarin's father died when he was very young. In China, he was extremely wealthy, as well as a descendant of Genghis Khan. Raised by a resentful aunt, she taught him to hate the world. With his inheritance, he studied hard and became a high government official. But when the Communist revolution came about, he lost everything.

Due in part to his love for technology, The Mandarin had an axe to grind with Tony Stark. He tried to discredit him numerous times, almost discovered Iron Man's identity and tried to kill his girlfriend Janice Cord. Once Stark attempted to set up a Stark Enterprises branch in Hong Kong, and Mandarin pretended to be Zhang Tong, a financial leader. He pretty much thwarted those business efforts after that. In one ironic twist though, The Mandarin lost his memory and became a janitor at Stark Enterprises. Karma?

The Mandarin has also tried to control the Hulk, even allying himself with Sandman to do so. He's infiltrated the U.S. government and almost released a spray into the air stream that would have had a 97.5% fatality rate.

His powers include a highly advanced teleportation device, an elevated skill set of martial arts and a mastery of chi. He also callused his entire body to prevent weakness if attacked. His most important tools though are his ten rings. They all have one specific duty, such as emitting intense cold, amplifying mental energies, emitting electricity, emitting infrared radiation, rearranging molecules, projecting neutrons, causing the air to become a vortex and so on and so forth. No one can wear the rings but him, unless he lets them. And if he lets you, he is definitely watching you.
